Name: Tony Fields

Position: Outside linebacker

Height: 6 feet 2 inches

Weight: 205 pounds

Hometown (high school): Las Vegas (Desert Pines)

Rating: 3-star, No. 92 outside linebacker, No. 12 in the West, No. 1 in Nevada

Other offers: Boise State, BYU, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon State, San Diego State, Washington State

2015 stats (2016 unavailable): 93 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 2 interceptions, 4 fumble recoveries

Who he is: Playmaking outside linebacker with a nose for the ball. High school teammates with two other UA commits: offensive lineman Edgar Burrola and cornerback Tony Wallace.

How he fits: Arizona is desperate for help at linebacker after losing their top five tacklers at the position, and Fields — already enrolled at UA — has a chance at immediate playing time on the outside.

He said it: “He’s great. He’ll make plays. I’ve never seen a player like him, to be so hungry and want to get after it.” — Burrola
